Basically, he got shut down and reacted very immaturely. Check out the AJC recruiting blog. I’m pretty sure he had something on it. At least, I learned it from Chip Towers interview on 960.

It gives one pause given how ticky-tack our off-field issues have been. My first impression is that he’s clearly headed for trouble in Athens. But he’s 17-18 and is learning to deal with adversity. He’s not a full-blown grown-up, so expecting him to act like one is unrealistic. He was dealing with adversity for the first time all season and was probably hearing a lot about it from the fans, I imagine. He deserves a chance to learn from it.

I generally agree with this sentiment. I find it unfair, however, if the person in question would not have been offered admission based solely on his academic record and lacks adequate preparation for higher education generally, let along at a selective public research university.

I’ve got an old high school defensive coordinator I talk to about the Dawgs now and again. He told me before we signed him that Caleb was overrated, he also told me David Greene was going to be a stud before he started playing, that’s 2-0. Other things he has said: Grantham’s scheme was too complicated for his charges this year and Grantham does not have an even rudimentary understanding of how to stop the triple option. All told though he’s not ready to write him off, he thinks there has been improvement over Martinez, but that isn’t necessarily saying much.

Bloviation for the Dawgnation

“It's definitely different not knowing exactly who it's gonna be, but in a way, I feel like that's good,” he said. “One of my old coaches from Valdosta told me that competition is one of the best coaches. And I feel like, as well as each one of those three guys is performing, they're not gonna do anything but make each other better.” -- Jay Rome, The Red & Black, 3/25/15
